Sunny's lying unconscious
her nightgown hiked over her waist.
If I was on that jury,
I would've voted to convict.
Then you're taking the case?
Reminds me of my Hitler dream.
Hitler calls up, he's alive, needs a lawyer.
I say "Sure. Come on over."
Then I have to decide:
do I take the case or do I kill him?
You? No question.
- I would take the case.
- Then kill him.
I'm a maniac. I need your judgment,
someone to watch what I'm doing and
occasionally remind me about the law.
When can I see the transcripts?
You're a former prosecutor, conservative.
We agree on nothing.
But you're smarter than the DA. If I can
beat your arguments, I can destroy his.
Rhode Island is corrupt. Everything is
political. I don't think that way. You do.
I have to see the big picture.
I can't immerse myself in facts.
But we must know the facts.
No one can assimilate information
as quickly as you two.
I agree with that assessment.
- You're out of your mind.
- I only have 45 days to file.
I can't do it without you.
- I know you don't wanna come back...
- Is this strictly professional?
It better be.
That's wonderful. I want the best
people in the world on our side,
the most prestigious experts.
Nobel prize-winning scientists,
some of your colleagues at Harvard.
Wait a minute, Claus.
We got a little problem, OK?
People like that, we can't control.
They find one incriminating fact,
they'll tell the world.
I'm not afraid, Alan.
Let the chips fall where they may.
That's what an innocent man would say.
I know.
That just came for you, Daddy.
My daughter Cosima.
She loves Alex and Ala dearly. Siding
with me has cost her their affections.
I don't know what I would've done.
I don't want to hear your story,
but I do need some information.
Of course.
I gather the older children deny Sunny
had a problem with pills and alcohol.
Spectacular understatement.
So there must be somebody
who saw it. A witness, a friend?
- You want affidavits?
- Yes.
- I'll get them.
- You'll get them.
The drugs prescribed for me
were taken by Sunny.
That's a lot of drugs.
But the prosecution's allegation that
I knew about syringes, injections -
totally accurate.
Sunny and I gave ourselves B12 injections
in the late '60s. It was quite the fad.
Can I explain something? The less I know
from you, the more options I have.
When you tell me "the truth", you limit me
to a defense that fits with what you say.
But isn't the truth the simplest way, Alan?
I mean, why did I stay all day
at Sunny's side without calling a doctor?
